Medical Counseling

The panel of doctors of BCCS attends to the cancer patients for counseling and understands the critical issues, explains the side effects of the treatments and provides required medical services. The doctors also advise the escorts/attendants to help the patients fight with the disease, clear their doubts and come out of their mental agony. Depending on the need, the doctors liaise with different hospitals for any practical problem during the course of treatment.

Nutritional Support

Patients undergoing radio or chemotherapy need additional nutritional support. The doctors of BCCS advise them suitable foodstuff and help them in identifying the required protein supplements. BCCS offers free protein supplements and free food to financially constrained cancer patients.

Accommodation and Logistics

Treatment of cancer is a long-drawn process and the patient need to stay for longer periods in Mumbai during the course of their treatment. Getting an affordable accommodation is one of the major concerns in the city like Mumbai, which drains the patients and their escorts physically, mentally and financially. BCCS is operating an accommodation in an independent house at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai for the benefit of cancer patients at a very nominal cost. The accommodation is located near to Tata Memorial hospital, Kharghar with the capacity of 30 patients at a time.
